Fred Stride composed his dynamic work Fanfare and Scherzo for solo Horn, Strings and Timpani in the 1980's for horn virtuoso Martin Hackleman. It was first performed with the CBC Radio Orchestra of Vancouver.

The work has many dimensions, from the angular Fanfare, flashy scales, dance-like syncopations and calm bridge sections of the Scherzo.

This edition is the reduction of the chamber string version, is about 9 minutes in length, is appropriate for advanced performers and is available for Horn with Piano reduction accompaniment.
